<p>SAT- 1430 M+CR 2050 M+CR+W (630 CR, 800 M, 620 W), Will the math score help me because I'm applying to be a math major?</p>
<p>4.625 W GPA 3.8 UW </p>
<p>Rank- 8/232</p>
<p>Courseload: I will graduate with 5 AP classes, 21 Honors classes, only 5 standard (3 of them being required standard courses)</p>
<p>ECs: Chorus (section leader), Handbells, Science Club, Science Olympiad (Regional winner), Key Club, NC State Mathematics Competition (Regional honorable mention), tutor, Praise Band (harmony composer), Cross Country, Track and Field, Junior Marshal, NHS, Youth Group, Governors school nominee, and a few more I don't want to list?</p>
<p>Essays- I talked about how my mom was a drug addict and how that affected my life...</p>
<p>How can I improve my app? What are my chances so far? Thanks!</p>
<p>Strong candidate being in state. Congrats on your math score - very impressive, and yes, it will help. Your CR score is probably in the 50+ percentile of those who attend. Class rank is where it needs to be and rigor of study is strong. ECs are very solid, especially if you took leadership roles. Essay topic is quite compelling so sell yourself by emphasizing what you will bring to the incoming class at Carolina.</p>
<p>Just curious, given your screen name, have you applied to NC State? There are fantastic opportunities there also.</p>
<p>I feel like even if you were out of state you’d have pretty strong changes–your 800 M on the SAT will definitely help since you want to be a math major, and your ECs and APs (I also went in with five APs) are really strong. </p>
<p>I agree about applying to NCSU though–they have some awesome programs and if you’re applying for financial aid, it would be great to compare what packages you get at each school and be able to pick the best one.</p>
<p>Question though, can you change your handle to uncfan97 if you end up going to UNC? You might find us to be a bit salty toward NC State fans right now after that game today. :P</p>
<p>You’re a strong candidate regardless, and it’s very likely that you will get into both UNC and NC State. Good luck!</p>
